Thermo Scientific SL 16R Refrigerated Centrifuge

The Thermo Scientific SL 16R Refrigerated Centrifuge offers an optimal blend of capacity, ergonomics, and value for everyday sample preparation, catering to a wide array of separation needs in clinical protocols, cell culture applications, and more. This centrifuge boasts a substantial capacity of 4 x 400ml all within a compact footprint that conserves bench space. It features the Auto-Lock® III Rotor System for swift rotor exchange with the push of a button, alongside easy chamber access for cleaning, reducing contamination risks. The ClickSeal® Bucket Sealing System offers a user-friendly, one-handed operation, eliminating the need for screw caps and ensuring biocontainment with CAMR certification. Additionally, SMARTSpin® Technology ensures optimal rotor management, enhancing safety and efficiency in pelleting applications.

User convenience is further supported by a motorized lid latch allowing easy one-finger operation, with an optional automatic lid opening post-run. The design prioritizes ergonomics with an accessible working height and a curved design for ease of sample handling and unit cleaning. It is also leading in energy efficiency, offering up to 40% energy savings on standard protocols, complemented by an extended tubes capacity which reduces run frequency in busy labs. The SL 16R operates at a maximum speed of 15,200 RPM, achieving a maximum RCF of 25,830 x g, with a temperature range of -10°C to 40°C, making it an exceptionally productive and ergonomic choice for laboratories seeking high throughput and efficient operation. We may have different adapters available depending on the rotor chosen with this centrifuge. If the selected rotor includes adapters that will not work for your application, please inquire.

All of our equipment is in excellent condition and will be fully tested to perform at factory specifications before being shipped.

Please confirm this rotor meets your application needs and request a different rotor, if necessary. Available rotors can be found in our Rotor Compatibility Guide.

Centrifuge Inspection and Recertification Checklist

Confirm the power supply output voltages match specified requirements for stable distribution to all internal components
Measure and verify voltages at PCB test points to ensure accurate power delivery and circuit integrity
Confirm rotor compatibility with the centrifuge model and check that rotor detection systems recognize the rotor type
Inspect the exterior for any cosmetic or structural damage that could affect performance or safety
Check the door mechanism alignment to ensure secure and smooth opening and closing
Inspect and replace the gas strut with an OEM part to maintain proper door support and safety
Examine the rotor chamber bowl for dents or damage and replace as needed to ensure safe operation
Replace and confirm full functionality of all lid lock switches to maintain secure closure
Inspect and lubricate the door lock mechanism, applying grease to the lid lock rail for smooth operation
Test compressor functionality (if applicable) to ensure proper operation and consistent temperature control
Conduct an 8-12 hour cycle test to validate consistent performance over prolonged use
Confirm rotor motor stability, check for unusual noise, and assess mechanical integrity during operation
Inspect the condensation drain and clear any clogs to prevent moisture buildup in the rotor chamber
Verify RPM accuracy using an NIST-traceable tachometer and perform calibration as necessary
Check the centrifuge error log to ensure zero recorded issues, confirming system reliability
